At this instant it occurs to Bradley to take offhis drawers, which he does, and swings them down to me. I hug close tothe rock, let go with my hand, seize the dangling legs, and with hisassistance am enabled to gain the top.
Then we walk out on the peninsular rock, make the necessary observationsfor determining its altitude above camp, and return, finding an easy waydown.
_June 19. --_To-day, Howland, Bradley, and I take the "Emma Dean" andstart up the Yampa River. The stream is much swollen, t...he current swift, and we are able to make but slow progress against it. The canyon in thispart of the course of the Yampa is cut through light gray sandstone. Theriver is very winding, and the swifter water is usually found on theoutside of the curve, sweeping against vertical cliffs often a thousandfeet high. In the center of these curves, in many places, the rock aboveoverhangs the river. On the opposite side the walls are broken, craggy, and sloping, and occasionally side canyons enter. When we have roweduntil we are quite tired we stop and take advantage of one of thesebroken places to climb out of the canyon.
